We had to speak up and ask where our food was and magically it came out less than 10 minutes later--Claimed it was bc they were busy but nearly everyone in the restaurant had their food already and not every table was even occupied. Apparently we ordered the SMASH burger, hold the Smash. They were super thick, definitely NOT a smash burger. I didn't tell them well done because, well, a smash burger is always well done because it is THIN. It was so undercooked I couldn't even eat it. My son's was worse than mine but he ate it anyway since he had a game to get to. Server didn't bother to offer any compensation for any of it. So I waited an hour and a half for food that was inedible.

How was the burger,…read morelet's find out: Ambience This is hard to comment since this was a food truck and seating was mostly at a bar. Service The guys were really nice guys. The food was cooked to order and did not take long. Food I got the onion smashed burger. I thought it was delicious with charred onions smashed into the burger and cheese. I did not use any ketchup for the burger because it was very well seasoned and juicy. Tater bombs These were a tarot tot on steroids. It came with what looked like a some sort of ketchup/mayo concoction. Basically a fried loaded potato is a shape of a big beefy tater tot. It had bits of bacon and cheese in it. It had a nice crunch and fluffiness to the inside. Though you get six of these tasty potatoes, there are substantially enough for a side (and to some a perfect snack). Overall Definitely visit smashd burger. It is a family and veteran owned burger place that serves great burgers and fun sides. I think I have to go back and try the bacon jam... I mean... it's bacon jam...

The bloody mary had zero flavor but I did enjoy the pepperoni & cheese it came with. The other drinks were tasty. My BLT, no tomato claimed it was supposed to be 1lb of bacon. Barely any bacon BUT the bacon was delicious. No mayo or anything on the sandwich, it was ok. Tots were yummy. The kobe steak bowl had over cooked rice. Not much flavor. LOVED the cheese curds though. Overall. I don't think I would come back.

Met my friend here for her birthday lunch (same friend from my last review!). It was a beautiful day so we sat outside on the patio. It was soooo nice. I ordered a flat bread pizza thingy (Chicago Prime)... it was delicious! My friend ordered a salad; she raved about it. The reason for this review isn't the great table or the delicious food... it's the service. Josh waited on us and he was AMAZING. I think he was working the bar, the patio and the entire restaurant. He checked on us throughout our meal, kept our drinks filled and was an all around wonderful person to talk to. One hundred stars for Josh! Thanks for making our afternoon!
